A Little Bit About Me, and my Switch to Word Press.

My Mom, Chloe and I spent a few days at my sister Holly’s last week. We all had a great time and I’ll be posting all the fun nursery projects over the next couple weeks!

This week is off to a crazy start! The fall is always a little manic around here. I have two kids with sports practices 3 nights/week, both have weekend games. Then I home school the older three. Their yearly lesson plans are all due this week. We have two house showings, so it’s cleaning, cleaning, cleaning around here

and…..

I’m making the switch to Word Press.

So….

I always still see blogs that switch to WP in my Good Reader, but I know it has been a problem in the past for some, so follow me in another way. Through Facebook, Twitter,Bloglovin, Linky (located on the right sidebar), Hometalk,G+ or Subscribe, just in case the switch abolishes our Good Friend Connection.

I’m really hoping I don’t loose any of you!

Why the switch?

As you have probably noticed, I have what I call “commercials” (advertisements). I feel fortunate to work with a few media agencies who pay me to write about their products, or who use my sidebar for their advertisements. However, some media agencies are pickier than others it boils down to Word Press enabling me to work with all of them easier. There are many other professional benefits to moving to Word Press….it’s something I’ve been procrastinating for a long time!

Another thing you might have seen this week is everyone has switched to truncated feeds. I will also be using truncated feed after my switch, so if you view me in a reader, you will have to actually click on my blog and go to it to read it (or so I understand). Besides that, everything should look pretty much the same.

A huge thanks to all of you Creatively Living readers! I am so thankful for all of you!

This is a good question! I haven’t switched yet, so you’re still seeing my Blogger blog. I’ll let you know if I figure that out though! I’m hoping all of it won’t be too difficult, but I know there will most likely be hiccups.

Good luck with using WordPress – I know you’ll love it – I do. I started my blog on WordPress so it’s the only thing I know. I lost my GFC, but I see you still have it. Lucky you. Any questions I’ll be happy to help!

About Me

I'm a wife, a sister, a daughter, a mother of 5, a Jesus lover, a coffee abuser, an obsesser of all things DIY, design and decor related.
Most of what you'll see here are ways to live inexpensively, and how I put those into practice with my constant need to renovate houses.
We are a military family of 7, so houses must come big and inexpensive, and made beautiful as we go, turning what most would see as trash, into treasure.
Thanks for stopping by, stay awhile and make yourself at home. I hope you enjoy my ideas.
